Re: login fail, but runs multiple downloads

I cannot imagine what might go wrong with the simple batch file from your original post.
Is it really that simple?
Did you try to preserve/log contents of the batch file just before you run winscp.com, to double check that the contents is as you expected?
If the commands are fixed this way, why do you even generate the script?
If you wanted to avoid having yet another script file (beside the batch file), you can instead specify the commands on WinSCP command-line.
Example here: https://winscp.net/eng/docs/faq_batch_file#newline_escaping
This way, WinSCP will log the commandline including the commands, what will ease debugging.

Re: login fail, but runs multiple downloads

I modified the log. The job runs at 07:20. My second attempt to get the file was at 08:57.

Actually, I see the first attempt never tried a get on the file. Something happened during the script creation: 
< 2022-01-24 07:20:03.090 Script: transfer        ascii     
> 2022-01-24 07:20:03.090 Script: close

Maybe virus scanner? I don't know, we have painfully slow VM's sometimes. I guess the solution is to create the script once and not create it on the fly.

Re: login fail, but runs multiple downloads

There are over 50 sessions in that log. What should I look for? Can you post logs of two sessions only?
1) Log of session where there were three transfers, although there should have been one only.
2) Log of subsequent rerun that went as expected.

login fail, but runs multiple downloads

I run 
echo open sftp://myuser:mypass@redhat7server.com>files\get.scr
echo cd /opt/csv>>files\get.scr
echo option transfer ascii>>files\get.scr
echo get my.csv>>files\get.scr
echo close>>files\get.scr
echo exit>>files\get.scr

Then I run: 
WinSCP.com /script="get.scr"  /log="winscp_debug.log" /loglevel=0 > sendfile.log  2>&1

On Redhat side I get: 
Jan 24 07:20:02 redhat7server sshd[24131]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=myhost  user=myuser

Jan 24 07:20:02 redhat7server sshd[24131]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user ldapcsv

In the debug log, it appears to download the file multiple times. Yet, the file is not on disk. I see multiple

I reran the job and it worked and it appears to only login once this time:
